The presidential candidate of All Progressives
Congress, APC, General Mohammadu Buhari,
Wednesday, officially presented his running mate,
Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.
At a brief ceremony held at the national
secretariat of APC in Abuja to publicly unveil
Osinbajo, Buhari stated he chose Osinbajo as his
running mate based on his impeccable integrity.
He stated that the process of choosing his
running mate was both meticulous and rigorous.
“The challenging process of rescuing our country
and changing Nigeria for good has commenced.
One of the first decisions that I have to make is
the choice of the Vice-Presidential candidate and
my running mate.
“The method employed in this choice was quite
meticulous but yet rigorous. It involved the
establishment of objective criteria, broad
consultations with party leaders and a few opinion
leaders outside the party and interactions with a
number of nominees.
“To assist me in this great task of securing
Nigeria’s future, I have chosen a man of
unimpeachable integrity, an excellent professional,
a man of faith, a devoted family man and a role
model to our fellow countrymen and women. He
is a professor of law and a Senior Advocate of
Nigeria. An alumnus of the University of Lagos
and the London School of Economics. He is a
prodigious author who has to his credit several
books on civil procedure in Nigerian superior
courts.
“The Vice-Presidential candidate is a friend of the
less privileged, compassionate and zealous in
service. A man of uncommon humility, a loyal,
dependable and selfless patriot.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, I present Prof. Yemi
Osinbajo, who by the grace of God and the vote of
Nigerians will be the next Vice-President of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria,” Buhari said.
In his acceptance speech as a running mate,
Osinbajo expressed gratitude to Buhari and the
APC for finding him worthy to serve.
He pledged to work with Buhari and the party if
elected into office to restore the hope of
Nigerians.
He said: “I am deeply honoured and grateful to
have been nominated as the Vice-Presidential
candidate of our party, APC and especially the
Presidential candidate, General Muhammadu
Buhari.
“I also thank the leaders and elders of our great
party, APC for the trust reposed in me.
“The task of rebuilding this nation is one to which
I am fully committed. There can be no other
President, Leader and commander that can lead
that common sense revolution Nigeria urgently
needs than General Muhammadu Buhari. I will
proudly serve this country with him.
“General Buhari’s uprightness and fierce
commitment to good governance is well known. It
will be a privilege to work with him. I come to
this assignment with lots of hope and a resolve to
be a part of this movement to bring Nigeria back
to its lost glory. With the support of all Nigerians
and the help of God, we shall make Nigeria work
again.
“I will work with him and the party to restore
hope and confidence in millions of our youth and
provide comfort and security for millions of our
country men and women.
I thank you all”.
